The Ormalou Clock

She's just something clicked for her as a fiction writer and these novels poured out of her. She very quickly then became understood and you know within five years was seen to be a great writer. There's a nastiness to her work which I think is a kind of honesty. It's a sort of nastiness that very few writers risk anymore because nothing is worse now than the accusation of that you're a nasty unpleasant writer. You know if you will they'll like it they want you to be nice.
